A Pot Of Gold


“If I found a pot of gold I would be happy for my family. First I would get a puppy. Next I’d get a phone. Then I’d get a house. I’d get a water bottle. Last I’d get a mechanical pencil. I would like to have a pot of gold.” [read more for picture] Some interesting observations here: First, puppy trumps (smart) phone. Smart emphasize mine because when I tried to describe land lines to Hannah I fell pathetically short. Her response was along the lines of: So, all you could do was talk on them and leave recorded messages? That’s it? Second, phone trumps house. I get the water bottle and mechanical pencil - those are popular items at school these days. If you have a unique one of theses I suspect it’s cooler.
